Business and Economy in Auckland 2014 explores these international opportunities in a variety of ways. An oft-cited OECD1 report found that New Zealand’s size and global position could explain as much as 75 per cent of the per capita income gap with the average OECD economy. To many, this finding seems like an insurmountable obstacle for those living on an island at the bottom of the world. Short of turning the migration taps on full, it is not clear what policy can do to address such challenges. At the same time, policies aimed at other issues, such as savings rates or exchange rates, may be marginal tinkering in comparison.
